Sadly, there is nothing left to discuss about her music career except its correlations with her personal life, which has become nothing more than a time-lapse movie of an alternate universe where Madonna fell apart four albums into her career. Spears isn't back so much as still here, frozen as she was when we first found her.
The Britney Jean tinymixtapes review is just as ruthless. The fact that it's the exact same lashings she'd been receiving all throughout her career
Quote:
I want to enjoy a Britney Spears album without contorting myself through a bunch of justifications about zeitgeists while calling the highlights “sorta as good as ‘Toxic.’” I want to close my eyes and make out with a record that is “executive” produced by will.i.am and that somehow transmutes the dude’s incredible (and cynical) gift for making people who value immediacy in their music feel completely and utterly present by experiencing his alchemy of basically the loudest, most elemental forms of music that civilization has so far bestowed on us into something richer, weirder, and more honest. But we’re not going to wind up happy: will.i.am is going to take his big sack of money and probably record some Jandek-style stuff in his soundproofed penthouse, and I’m going to go home and listen to “Toxic.”
Blackout is a flawless pop album. Gimme More, Piece of Me, Break the Ice, Radar, Toy Soldier, Hot As Ice, Heaven On Earth, Get Naked, Ooh Ooh Baby, Perfect Lover, all A+ bops.
The fact that all of these people have danced around their room with the door locked to at least half of those songs and will then claim Trailor's confessions of an oblivious overpriviledged emotionally retarded 20something are "ART"
BJ deserved the lashing it got from critics. Only a small handful of the Army will disagree to this. Artpop also deserved all of its lashings but you will find Jolies Lips thread banned for implying this.
Literally went out for lunch, took my puppy to the dog park, gave him a bath and he is sleeping in his martha stewart dog bed as I pay some bills
and ya'll are still talking about Queen Britney.
Why does she have the powers of mind consumption over so many with very little effort involved?
Let me sift through this mess
This has nothing to do with what "we" think about Blackout. We're establishing the undeniable fact that Blackout was a critically panned commercial bomb.
1989 has great songs. Shake It Off, Style, Blank Space, Clean, Wonderland, New Romantics, Wildest Dreams, I Wish You Would, How You Get The Girl, Welcome To New York, Out of the Woods. I don't use the rest though.
Like, just listen to the music and decide for yourself if you like it or not
